Under floor heating on a block and beam floor - Extension #13.

[@billybulmer7386]

That is going to be a very cozy room with all that insulation and UFH 👍

[@thomaselston4680]

what one hears the plasterers of been in some of the best boarding I've seen in a long time keep the good work up lads top lads

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Haha! How on earth do you know that???!!! Thank you for doing such a great job mate, sorry I couldn't be there. See you soon.

[@thomaselston4680]

all good mate looking forward to coming back to finish the rest off for you hopefully there's more future work

[@Mr_A_Builders]

I'm sure there will be mate, providing H&S don't shut us down because someone dies from falling off a trestle! Haha!

[@thomaselston4680]

he's ok is always falling off stuff we call him uncle Albert

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Haha! That's ace!

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Lovely video Rich and mick - great job lads

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Cheers Logan

[@jaymurtagh]

Another great video guys. That extension is progressing nicely.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Thank you Jay

[@mrboyban]

Terrific work mate!

[@ssjktjessica6]

Brilliant video again, but can you do one that includes all the dig out and MOT Type 1 installation and all being whacked down, cheers steve Sorry, ignore me,I wasn't paying attention, you've already done the floor prep

[@1991Bito]

What thickness of screed went on top of the 75mm insulation?

[@Brightlight22]

Great video. Would I be right in thinking that the insulation has to be perfectly flat otherwise the screed on top will crack

[@RATHER5KEPTICAL]

Would it have made sense to put the pipes through out all the kitchen and put insulation below the kitchen units? That way when you fancy a kitchen refurb you wont have cold spots?

[@Suhaibeditz564]

Excellent video!! One question, is it OK to bury the central heating pipe under the screed?

[@ershadtaymourtash2529]

Dear Expert, Thank you for the brilliant explanation. My question is whether we can install new laminate on top of old ceramics while using a wet floor heating system. Could you please guide me on whether this would prevent efficient heating conductivity, increase energy consumption, and how it might affect moisture levels? Additionally, what steps can I take to control these factors? Best regards,

[@therealdojj]

That's happening at some point this week in our build, dot and dab was done Saturday in prep

[@leeberry9666]

Good video. Does it work out cheaper than solid screeding.

[@MR54TSN]

Thanks. Any videos of the floor being laser levelled? before the tripods are placed down?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Unfortunately not the footage was all done in Timelapse but at 09:06 minutes you can see him checking with a tape measure and adjusting those tripods Mick points out and the laser is top right of the screen on the floor. All he does is get a finished screed height from our marks we give him from our existing finished floor height. Hope this helps but happy to answer any more questions. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻

[@MR54TSN]

@@Mr_A_Builders ah, was wondering where the laser was! What would you say the max liquid screed depth should be? 50mm? My floor as the insulation under the concrete slab. There is 15mm difference in floor level so i was going to lay 35mm in some areas, with a max depth 50mm.

[@danlong6311]

@@MR54TSN it’s my understanding from when I did our floor that you can go thinner with a liquid screed than a sand based screed. From memory you should be fine with a liquid screed like in this video for your depths you mentioned An exiert may correct me if I’m wrong 😂

[@jeffsmith2144]

Do you not pressure to 6 bar, which is recommended?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Hi Jeff. If that was recommended I’ve got every faith that it’s what he would have done so I’ll trust that this system didn’t need 6 bar pressure test. However, I shall ask the question and give you his answer if it’s any different. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@tommendoza1812]

You put another DPM over the celotex? 🤷‍♂️

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Hello Tom, yes mate, it has to be done. The screed fellas do it in order to effectively turn the floor into a pond so the liquid screed doesn't flow out everywhere. It's not a DPC in its true form, it's pierced all over the place by the clips that hold the pipes in place. Hope that helps?

[@tommendoza1812]

@@Mr_A_Builders so I’ve laid the black membrane onto the block and beam, then celotex is done and taped, UFH going down at weekend, so it’s already on top of 1 complete sheet.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

@tommendoza1812 from a true 'DPM' point of view, that's that done, the sheet that goes on top of your celetex is for the purpose of the screed, not to stop moisture coming up from the floor.

[@amirnoori8308]

Hi do you cover ward end area B8? i would like you to come down and give me a quotation for underfloor heating and screed please thank you

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Hello mate, please watch this video and call the people that are featured within it, they will sort everything out for you, just remember to tell them where you got their number please. Take care and good luck with your project. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWXSo4SXg9uio7s

[@o04n7h0n90o]

Do you guys do the electrical work yourselves or get a proper electrician in to do it?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Depends what you mean by do it yourselves mate. We have a team of qualified lads in various trades to get stuff done for us including electricians. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@nigelsmith1198]

How deep was the screed.?

[@mariuszkleban4636]

Hi What was the price for uhf please?

[@davesmith729]

Great job lads but I think it’s unnecessary to have underfloor heating when you have all that insulation 2 Vapour barriers concrete and the flooring on top.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

What would heat up the 8m x 3.6m space? UFH is the most efficient way mate rather than Radiators

[@davesmith729]

@@Mr_A_Builders ohhh wow ok I get it, I assumed that would only heat up the floor and not the actual air space also ? I thought there was going to be a couple of radiators installed. I’ve learnt so much from you guys so by me asking questions I learn form your answers. Great bunch of guys 🙏

[@Mr_A_Builders]

No worries mate we don’t presume that our viewers are all trades people so we try and explain it as best we can. We are more than happy to answer any questions for you no problem at all. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻

[@DeanW-1990]

I thought the same thing Dave, and I also agree great bunch of lads 👍

[@Swwils]

@@davesmith729 ufh is essentially a massive radiator. Because the surface is so large you can drop the flow temps significantly. Which is much more efficient.

[@shizzleinthenizzle]

guys next time allow for 150mm of EPS insulation . It's better U value, half the price and works brick.

[@mrboyban]

Probably it is down to the customer's preference how high the floors should be. One would argue that 2400mm is the ideal amount of insulation, but hey you have to account for many other factors not just how warm it can be.

[@shizzleinthenizzle]

@@mrboyban height doesnt matter you just go down more!

[@leer798]

@@shizzleinthenizzle not saving a penny by doing down more are you with the cost of excavating - Labour, digger, skips/grab ! Wanna be taking out the least amount possible !

[@leer798]

@@mrboyban no one in the world would ask for 2400mm of insulation 😂😂
